HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL
10:23 p.m.
ok, just a quick note...the webcam downtown has been frozen for the last two days, so i've changed over to the cam looking out over the arcata plaza...that won't mean much to you (only rob and jr will know where that even is) but it can be a pretty entertaining place...oh what you USED to be able to do on the plaza....dogs running wild, dope smoking, begging for spare change, frisbee, hackie-sack, bad folk music, drum circles....i'll have to explain all about arcata soon...it's the last home of the hippies on the west coast....the green party has a majority on the city council...it's a nuclear-free zone, for cryin' out loud!
gonna write an interesting little entry later, but i've gotta go eat...

midnight
ok, this is kind of funny and interesting...
i go to diary "a" the other night...i look at his guestbook, and click on the link to diary "b"...i spend a little time there and then go to her guestbook...i see a link to diary "c", so i go there. now let me say that diaries "b" and "c", as far as diaryland is concerned, are right here in my neighborhood. in the real world, if i was to walk to their houses and knock on their doors, it would take most of the night. i should also say that when we get to diaries "b" and "c", we are back in the glorious days of high school...
so as i read a bit of diary "c" i see a reference to a boy we'll call "d" (actually, that's his initial...how funny!) now, she doesn't mention his last name, but it dawns on me i've met this kid, cuz by some of the details given i realize he's just finished performing in a local theater's production of "____ __ _______", by that great american playright ____ _____. (hey, i'm trying to be a LITTLE discreet here.) i know this production...i know the director...he's running for mayor! i've met the kid a couple of times...and apparently, he's offered diarist "c"...well, i'll quote her here...
Might have sex with D_____. I know, I'm a virgin but his body is too attractive to not...do. Lol. He's been offering sex without attachment for quite a while now. So I think I'm going to take him up on his offer. He doesn't know I'm a virgin. Shhhhh!
(am i being totally unethical here? what am i doing reading high school girls' diaries in the first place? i guess it's the local angle that intrigues me the most...)
anyhoo, i'll be the first to admit the little shrimp's a looker....he's a pretty interesting character...this little (about 5ft., tops) guy who walks around like he's king stud - NOW i know why! he's got his cellphone on his belt, his cool-guy sunglasses...short guys weren't cool when i was in high school, i can tell you!) it would be SO funny if next time i saw him i said "so dude, did you ever nail _____?" (OF COURSE i would never do that...but can you imagine the look on his face?)
i guess it really IS a small world after all...
so i was running all this over in my head tonight at work, when who should walk in but the kid's father and brother! ( i rang them up)...it was just so odd, cuz i was kind of writing this all down in my head at the time...
i don't think i've given away too many details here, and after all, i think diarist "a" is the only one of the above mentioned parties who will probably see this anyway...these are open diaries, i didn't name any names, and it was just plain weird to see someone mentioned that i half-way know...
please feel free to let me know if you think i've done something wrong here...
